I don't know if it's my connection, of gentoo-wiki is down. Could I ask you to make the howto available somewhere else? I've got a laptop with two ATI cards (one IGP one discrete), and would really like to find a way to select the proper VGA card when I need it. (Using the radeon driver atm, fglrx doesn't support the PowerXpress settings afaik.

Thanks kkspeed. I will make the necessary changes. Since I updated to kernel 2.6.38 I don't remember to have run my image to my laptop yet. I'm actually trying to figure out how to make a squashed /lib64 to get rid of definitely of the disk i/o bottleneck.
See this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-646289.html for info. Well, I still have to fix splash for kernel 2.6.38, but that's not important. And then I'll update my image and extract it to my notebook disk.
